Killer Instinct, Salamander And Cinemaware Celebrated In Retro Gamer

It’s a Salamander celebration in issue 123 of Retro Gamer, which is on sale now.

In addition to looking at the game’s excellent classics, we reveal the best way to take down the game’s huge bosses, look at every single home conversion and interview Peter Baron about his stunning C64 port.

We also use this issue to pay tribute to the classic Amiga publisher Cinemaware. We speak to key people about the company’s inception, find out how its current Kickstarter project is getting on and look back at every game in its impressive catalogue.

Our other big feature this month is an extensive history of Rare’s Killer Instinct. As well as looking at the creation of the original two arcade games, we also speak to Double Helix Games about the work it’s doing on its recent Xbox One reboot.

Other classic features includes behind the scenes looks at Comix Zone, Stonkers and Tempest 2000, the greatest budget games of all time and why Sega’s Alex Kidd is gaming’s greatest underdog.
